Take care.

My tip: critically maintaining momentum is fine, but not forgetting: bargain-buying only!...

You will need to know any taxes and insurance cost along with any management fees, utilities or lawn care you have to pay while owning, along with taking repairs and vacancies into account.

By helping my tenants I have improved neighborhoods (my homes are the nicest in the area) stabilized them - home owners tend to stay longer and take better care of their homes, and helped improve the credit and lives of those I help.

Thanks for the tip on USAA.

He has a good team that takes care of furnishing and cleaning up the units between turnovers.

There's a reason why the landlord gave up caring about keeping the property looking good.

Its a sellers market.A great tip is call your local real estate agent, but don't tell them if you are buying or selling.....Listen to what they say and you will be able to determine what your market is.  

Do careful research (you should be good at that) for any turnkey investments.

The other part of wholesaling that is a possible red flag is Equity Stripping, AKA Illegal Flipping, this was heavily regulated till a few years ago by lenders, especially M.I. companies, they have relaxed the rules, but was a problem pre and post crash. seeing the increase in this activity seems eerily familiar,  like 2007 all over again. just be careful especially with your license, Disclose Early, Often, and in Writing, My license is too valuable to me to be involved in this type of transaction, so i steer clear. if my entity is on the contract, I am the one closing. period.
